Watch: Gents 1950s Stowa Wrist Watch

The watch has a 17 jewel PUW 260 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is also stamped DBGM for Deutches Bundes Gebrauchsmuster, similar to a British patent. The watch measures 28mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 28mm high excluding the lugs. The case is gold plated and it is in lovely condition. A little marking to the stainless steel back but not too serious at all. The convex lens is in good condition (some white natural light reflection showing in the photos). The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands and red centre seconds sweep. There is some slight discolouration towards the bottom of the dial. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs. Some countries do not allow the importation of antiques / watches / precious metals. Please contact us prior to placing an order if you are unsure about your country and we can check this for you. The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes. All of our watches are checked over before listing and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
